The grifts are certainly getting more elaborate

Do they just fire at random during the day? Or in response to requests? I use a Google home and the worst it does is always prefer Google services to play podcasts etc.

Same. I'm really confused about why they aren't marketing them better or at all? Also as another user commented it looks like they might be accessible on our phones? But I don't really access Netflix on my phone unless I happen to be stranded somewhere unexpectedly

I agree with you, the heated seat thing is definitely more aggravating

Don't you mean upvote?

Hopefully soon

I would add another way that Cloud providers are useful in making security and compliance less laborious, they are useful in navigating the continually shifting needs and standards of security compliance

Just deflating them, not destroying them

I agree with you, this would really suck for a poor family to have to deal with

Until saying this article I never even heard about throat mic, much less seen one before. Now I'm really curious about trying one out

I wouldn't bet on any of our rights being safe with the current occupation of the Supreme Court. The lack of the right to privacy of our own bodies is only the beginning.

The idea of allowing users to have preferences around notifications that are easy to understand and navigate is really important to me. I just really want to have agency around what notifications I receive and when.

I don't want them to go away all together because I actually do like and use some of my notifications, but some of the user abuse that I suffer at the hands of unscrupulous companies who are either purposely obfuscating the process or simply don't have the resources to focus on that aspect of their marketing strategy is aggravating.

The myth that persists to this day is "the Romans made better concrete that not even we, with all our science, can match." It's perfectly true that medieval Europeans had no idea how to make roman concrete.

There might be an argument that the text of the article could just be added to HN as a text post. But yeah I think it's fine either way.

Fixed, thank you!

You have a really good point, thank you for your post and the reminder of this aspect!

I believe fully in the importance of ethics and security that we as a society and we that work in tech should be honoring in full. It is disheartening to watch trusted companies utilize that -just enough- mentality to skim over the tops of audits. We have all seen what it looks like when companies operate from the absolute minimum and how dangerous and disrespectful that is for everyone- company and users included.

The richest country on earth AND the richest country in human history. And yet we have children without enough food.

This is interesting to me. I'm extremely frustrated by meal delivery apps, where I need the notifications on to know when my food is here, but hate getting promotional ads at random

We're working on tools to help developers send notifications more easily at https://www.courier.com/, and working on tools like automations to hopefully make notifications a bit smarter and less spammy.

This is a great one and "decentralized" is certainly a word that I see thrown around a lot in a way that doesn't feel authentic.

You actually made me laugh out loud. Thank you for that, I needed it today :).

That reminds me that I gotta get fidget spinners for the next conference. I also found that people appreciate a good notebook.

There is more information relevant to this discussion in this thread from a talk I was involved in last month: https://twitter.com/trycourier/status/1516169549439143941

Thank you for your response! I really love the phrase "neuro-infra". I had never heard that before but it provides a solid imaging for the type of work that goes into maintaining and building the mind.

Western society here in the US definitely glorifies the idea of overworking ourselves and never being properly rested. A lot of sleep disorders tend to exacerbate and be exacerbated by different aspects of neurodivergence, and sleep is crucial no matter who you are or your circumstances. I feel that for me learning how to rest better and prioritizing rest helped me become more effective at following the other tips you posted here :).

No where in this does the NYT call for banning Mr.Carlson. The slides are simply an in depth data analysis of the words that come directly out of his mouth.

I also talked about this a bit here: https://twitter.com/trycourier/status/1519088057231806465

I agree with you completely, though I wonder how much closer as a species we are to creating an animal like the tribble as opposed to growing lab grown meat efficiently?

I loved this article! Breaking down the basics on the risks and rewards of software. We talked about it on our webstream today: https://youtu.be/19posUE1i80

currently I'm living in Portland, so why am I replying to this thread? I spend every other week in SF to work in person at a Series A startup. I am able to do this after a few years of establishing a significant professional background while being 100% remote.

I love the bay area, and I see significant benefits to working with people face to face. That said I can't see myself ever moving my home back. I really don't know how I'd give a satisfying life to my kids or I'd feel anything but poor when I was looking for housing I could afford.

I'm a Windows user currently and your experience with Slacks notifications sound really irritating :/. One of the things that is mentioned in the article is that the average user expects that notifications will run the way they want "out of the box" and that they aren't willing to fiddle with settings. The article even says that... "Less than 5% of slacks users customize their notification settings". Do you feel like the settings are so limited that this is contributing to users not bothering to even try? Like maybe there's a lot of people who have checked the settings and then realized that they were going to get the results they wanted by fiddling with them?

I'm the same way, without the notifications I might forget I have certain applications installed at all... At the same time, those tedious over notifications sometimes motivate me to uninstall junk apps.
